Well, I believe that these cities are no longer quiet enough for people to chill. And I would like to give example from my own experience. I do live in an urban city, in an urban area, right? And the biggest problem I have is probably the noise that vehicles make. and there is not enough isolation in my building and I know that in most of the buildings do not have enough voice isolation in order to keep noisiness away from us and this just affects us in a really bad way because you always have a travel headache and always need to deal with some kind of health condition because of the noise that’s been made. I mean, you cannot even properly take a sleep if there is a noisy place that you’re sleeping in. So I believe that this is a huge problem and cities definitely doesn’t have quite places anymore.

Well, I believe that these cities are no longer quiet enough for people to relax. I would like to give an example from my own experience. I live in an urban area, right? The biggest problem I have is probably the noise that vehicles make. There is not enough sound isolation in my building, and I know that most buildings do not have enough soundproofing to keep the noise away from us. This affects us in a really bad way because you always have a travel headache and need to deal with some kind of health condition because of the noise. You cannot even properly sleep if you are in a noisy place. So, I believe that this is a huge problem, and cities definitely don't have quiet places anymore.
